texts: legations.The legations were prevented from being destroyed by the blocking of the transfer of artillery. The Boxers were only given limited amounts of artillery when it was finally given to the army. The Chinese forces defeated the Western relief force at the Battle of Langfang, but lost several important battles, including the Battle of Beicang, as the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing. The allied army was able to seize Beijing due to the fact that moderates at the imperial court tried to appease foreigners by moving the Muslim Kansu Braves out of their way. "Perhaps their magic is not to be relied upon; but can we not rely on the hearts and minds of the people?" asked Cixi during the war. China is weak today. We rely on the people's hearts and minds.What can we do to sustain the country if we cast them aside? Due to the Western Allied invasion, the Chinese people were almost unanimous in their support of the Boxers. "Now the Powers have started the aggression, and the extinction of our nation is imminent," she defiantly stated before the Grand Council when she received an ultimatum demanding that China surrender total control over all its military and financial affairs to foreigners. I wouldn't have a face to see my ancestors after death if we just folded our arms. Why don't we fight to the death? Cixi began to blockade the legations with the armies of the Beijing Field Force, which began the siege. The allied armies were allowed to escape too easily in 1860.It was necessary for a united effort to give China the victory. "Today, at last, the opportunity for revenge has come", and said that millions of Chinese would join the cause of fighting the foreigners since the Manchus had provided "great benefits" to China. During the Battle of Beijing, the entire imperial court, including the emperor and his wife, fled Beijing and were taken by the allied forces. messengers were sent to the empress dowager in Xi'an after the fall of Beijing. The agreement included a guarantee that China wouldn't have to give up any more territories to foreign powers. The war against foreigners was continued by many of <mask>'s advisers. They wanted to give responsibility for the war effort to Dong Fuxiang.After she was assured of her continued reign when the war was over, Cixi decided that the terms were generous enough for her to acquiesce and stop the war. The Western powers needed a government strong enough to suppress further anti-foreign movements, but too weak to act on its own; they supported the continuation of the Qing dynasty, rather than allowing it to be overthrown. Cixi asked Li Hongzhang to negotiate. The Boxer Protocol stipulated the presence of an international military force in Beijing and the payment of war compensation. The creation of China's prestigious Tsinghua University was funded by the United States using its share of the war indemnity. The Guangxu Emperor and Cixi did not return to Beijing until 18 months after their flight. The emperor, the empress, and the rest of the court returned to Beijing in January of 1901.Cixi and the court boarded a 21-car train at Chengtingfu to take them to the capital. In Beijing, many of the legation women turned out to watch the procession from the Beijing railway station to the Forbidden City, and for the first time, commoners were allowed to watch as well. Cixi implemented political reforms after returning to the palace. High officials were dispatched to Japan and Europe to gather facts and draw up plans for sweeping administrative reforms in law, education, government structure, and social policy, many of which were modeled on the reforms of the Meiji Restoration. The abolition of the examination system was the most visible of the reforms. The New Policies, a reform program more radical than the one proposed by the reformers she beheaded in 1898, was sponsored by Cixi. Cixi invited the wives of the diplomatic corps to a tea in the Forbidden City after she came back, as well as holding summer garden parties for the foreign community at the Summer Palace.She agreed to Sarah Conger's request in 1903. The ambassador wanted her portrait painted for the St. Louis World's Fair. Cixi had a Western-educated lady-in-waiting by the name of Yu Deling, along with her sister and mother, serve at her court between 1903 and 1905. Yu Deling was often a translator at meetings with the wives of the diplomatic corps. Yu Xunling, a brother of Yu Deling, was allowed by Cixi to take pictures of her and her court in 1903. They were designed to convey authority and piety. The only photographic series taken of <mask>u Emperor died from arsenic poisoning. Dai Yi, an historian, speculated that Cixi may have known of her imminent death and that she might have worried that the emperor would continue his reforms after her death. The level of arsenic in his remains was 2,000 times higher than that of the average person.The Eastern Qing tombs, east of Beijing, were the final resting place of the emperor and his wife. The emperor is in the Eastern Ding Mausoleum. In the Broad Valley of Good Omen, there is a Tomb East of the Ding Mausoleum. The tomb is in the Putuo Valley. The mausoleum is lit. The tomb of quietude is located west of the Dingdongling. Mount Putuo is one of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of China.In 1895, the emperor ordered the destruction and reconstruction of her tomb. The new tomb had temples, gates, and pavilions covered in gold leaf and ornaments hanging from the beams. Sun Dianying and his army stole <mask>'s tomb in July of 1928 as part of the Eastern Mausoleum. They stole the jewels from the coffin, threw the corpse on the ground, and blew up the entrance to the burial chamber. In accordance with Chinese tradition, they took the massive pearl that had been placed in the empress dowager's mouth. Sun Chengzong died in 1638 and Sun Dianying wanted to avenge him. His grandmother's remains were reburied.The Chinese government restored the tomb after 1949. For a long time, the mainstream view of China's slide into corruption, anarchy, and revolution 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 The revenues of the state were used by Cixi to accumulate vast quantities of money, bullion, antiques and jewelry. Jasper Becker, a long-time China journalist, said that "every visitor to the Summer Palace is shown the beautiful lakeside pavilion in the shape of an elegant marble pleasure boat and told how Cixi spent funds destined for the imperial navy on such extravagant fripperies, which ultimately led to Japan After the Boxer movement and equally violent foreign reprisal, the initial foreign accounts of Cixi emphasized her warmth and friendliness. Cixi invited several women to spend time with her in the Forbidden City. An American painter was called to China in 1903 to paint a portrait of Cixi.Carl portrays Cixi as a kind and respectful woman for her station. Cixi had an attractive personality because of his presence, charm, and graceful movements. Carl wrote about the empress's love of dogs and flowers, as well as her Chinese water pipes and European cigarettes. The well-known portraitist, Hubert Vos, was commissioned by Cixi to create a series of oil portraits. Much of the back-door gossip that came from palace eunuchs came from the publication of China under the empressdowager by J. O. P. Bland and Edmund Backhouse. On the one hand, she was devious, politically shrewd, and conscientious, while on the other, she was imperious, manipulative, and lascivious. Some of the source materials used in this work were forged by Backhouse.The vivid writing and lascivious details of their account provided material for many of the books over the following decades. The image of the Manchu Empress was debated and changed many times in the People's Republic after 1949. She was praised for her anti-imperialist role in the Boxer Uprising and reviled as a member of the "feudalist regime". The Palace Museum put <mask>'s luxurious goods on display to show that a female ruler weakened the nation when Jiang Qing was arrested for abuse of power. The views of scholars began to change in the mid-1970s. The first study in English to use court documents instead of popular histories was done by Sue Fawn Chung. "Clio, the Muse of History, has not been kind" was the opening sentence of her influential 1979 article.Chung said that traditional historians in China have always been prejudiced against feminine influence in court. Many of the allegations of the emperor being power-hungry and immoral could not be verified according to the analysis of the hundred days' reform. He portrays her as a woman who is concerned about her legitimacy and haunted by her humble beginnings in the palace. It wasn't common for a female leader of those times to be a more conservative leader. This has resulted in a one-sided, negative and narrow view of the woman who was called "she dragon" or the "usurper of a throne" and viewed as either a tyrant or incompetent. Despite this, writers such as Jung Chang have criticized this narrative and have written works such as Chang's Empress Dowager Cixi: The Concubine Who Launched Modern China in order to offer an opposing view. In recent decades, says Pamela Kyle Crossley, a historian of the dynasty, historians in the West developed what had become "truisms" in the representation of Cixi.Cixi appealed to feminists as a powerful leader and to Chinese patriots as a defender of China, according to Crossley. In the 1960s and 1970s, Cixi was one of a small group of "powerful" women newly discovered" and now she appears in the forefront of Chinese opposition to foreign arrogance and encroachment. Several biographies were widely read. The Dragon Lady: The Life and Legend of the Last Empress of China portrays Cixi as a woman stuck between the Manchu nobility and more moderate influences. Seagrave argues that the empress did not crave power but rather acted to balance her influences and protect the dynasty. According to Jung Chang's biography, Cixi was the most capable ruler and administrator that China could have had at the time. Chang's claims seem to be from her own musings, and have little to do with what we know was actually going in China, said Pamela Kyle Crossley in the London Review of Books.Although Crossley was sympathetic to restoring women's place in Chinese history, she found "rewriting Cixi as Catherine the Great or Margaret Thatcher is a poor bargain: the gain of an illusory icon at the expense of historical sense". Noble Lady Lan was the sixth rank consort of the Imperial Con. Lady Gwalgiya Mother: Lady Fuca Maternal grandfather: Huixian () Three younger brothers Second younger brother: Guixiang. The story of the Empress-Dowager Cixi is not a monster of depravity depicted in the popular press, but a woman who loved beautiful things. The life of the emperor's concubine, Imperial Woman, is chronicled in Pearl S. Buck's novel. The Imperial Court in the Boxer Rebellion were involved in the novel Spring Moon. The life of the empress is portrayed in two novels by Anchee Min.George McDonald Fraser's novel, flashman and the dragon, features the Noble Consort Yi. The 1968 novel "We, Tz'e Hsi, Empress of China" is a fictional diary of the emperor. She was portrayed by Lisa Lu in two Hong Kong-made films in the 70s. Lu reprised her role as Cixi in the 1987 film The Last Emperor. Her rise to power in the 1850s and the burning of the Old Summer Palace by French and British troops in 1860 were depicted in the 1980s. She was portrayed by Chingmy Yau. In Towards the Republic, the China Central Television production, the emperor was portrayed as a capable ruler for the first time in mainland Chinese television.Her political views were depicted as very conservative in the portrayal. Oswald Wynd wrote The Ginger Tree in 1977. The novel, written by Japanese author Asada Jiro, focuses on the relationship between a court eunuch named Chun'er and <mask>, who was depicted as a ruthless and calculating leader. It was adapted into a Japanese television series in 2010 and starred a Japanese actress as the emperor. A major character in the novel is <mask>. The novel was written in the 1850s and 1870s.

texts: <mask> was an English journalist whose magazines and reporting opened Continental cycle racing to fans in Britain. He covered 18 Tours de France. He started and edited the monthlies Coureur and International Cycle Sport after working for The Bicycle. A number of books were written by him. He began cycling when he was 14. He and a friend, Alf Kettle, were between the towns of Kelvedon and Coggeshall when they took a wrong turn and rode by the light of acetylene lamps. All new members were called "Willy" by Kettle.He said it was similar to the Tour de France. It was the first time that <mask> had heard of the race, which was still in the era of daily stages that started at dawn. He wanted to know more. He went to the world track championships when he was 19 and came back with a lot of admiration for the riders he saw. He ordered the paper from a newsagent. It cost 112d (1p or about 3 US cents) and the man warned him that it was extravagant. Journalism <mask> joined The Bicycle in February 1936 and became the magazine's foreign correspondent.The paper opened in opposition to Cycling because of their perceived establishment views, which included not covering massed racing on the open road after the Second World War and giving little attention to professional cycling, such as the Tour de France. The Bicycle saw itself as neither for or against the BLRC but saw massed-start racing as an exciting part of cycle-racing. The Bicycle appeared on Tuesday. He translated reports from France and Belgium into English and wrote about the races he had seen and the riders he had met. Adrian Bell, the British publisher who compiled a collection of <mask>'s work, wrote: And so began a pattern of working life and, with it, a unique style of writing about cycling that <mask> was to maintain, to a greater or lesser extent, for more than 20 years When he wasn't required for race reporting in England, he would load his bicycle with spare clothes, maps, and a portable typewriter, and take it to the roads of France, Belgium, and Holland. It was his choice.The reports of major Tours, French classics, frenetic kermesses over the Belgian pavé, or six-day dramas on the steep banking of indoor velodromes would come back. There was nothing like it in the English cycling press. He joined the press department of the bicycle maker, Hercules, two years after leaving the magazine. He was conscripted into the services at the beginning of the Second World War. When the Olympic Games were held in London in 1948, he became one of three press officers for the Union Cycliste Internationale. He stayed at The Bicycle until 1955. He started work on a monthly magazine called Coureur because a magazine with a similar title already existed.I saw more cycling than I did in four years on The Bicycle. I had enough material in my possession to write a book after the Tour de France. The dream was to create a continental-style all-cycling magazine. Charles Buchan, the publisher of Football Monthly, wanted a companion to the magazine. A novel approach that was so novel that Buchan was interested from the start was what <mask> told him. Most of the photographs were taken by <mask>, who wrote issue number one. It was produced at the home of Peter Bryan, the editor of The Bicycle, with help from a photographer and a designer.They also worked at The Bicycle. Continental racing was introduced by René de Latour. He was a "friend of the stars", providing insight into Continental racing at a time when Cycling was focused on domestic issues. The cycle parts importer and advertiser, Ron Kitching, wrote that this was a real innovation and an instant success. It was filled with exciting stories of both home and overseas events, written by <mask> himself but also by the top cycling writers of the day, like René de Latour, Harry Aspden, Charles Ruys and Dick Snowden. The last volume was in April 1968. Longacre Press bought Buchan's publications and owned Sporting Cyclist.Both Longacre and Cycling were published. Roy Green joined Amateur Photographer after leaving Sporting Cyclist. After 199 issues in 17 years, International Cycle Sport failed and the editor's contract was not renewed. Kennedy Brothers is a printing company in Keighley, Yorkshire owned by three brothers. The first English-language cycling magazine printed in colour had a colour cover and several colour pages inside. The contents would have appeared in the next Cyclist. John Wilcockson said that they were thrilled with the first issue that came off the presses, even though the colour reproduction was pretty awful.The picture of Patrick Sercu was printed the wrong way. He wrote in his first article that he launchedSporting Cyclist because he knew the cycling world wanted it. There was no suggestion that it would make a lot of money. After a number of mergers and takeovers, Sporting Cyclist found itself under the control of a giant publishing organisation. The merger of a magazine that supported a dying industry with a magazine that supported cycling was just a matter of time. When the decision was made, I and Roy Green were given the chance to carry on with the publication, but neither of them did. Maurice Cumberworth, the race director of the Milk Race, rented the basement office where the magazine was produced.Peter Fretwell, a Yorkshire printer, took over the assets of Kennedy Brothers. The magazine was part of the assets. The receiver wanted to make one strong company out of two weak ones. Wilcockson said that Peter Fretwell was a tough-minded businessman. The two men didn't get along. The arrangement worked for a while, but then Fretwell decided he could do without him. I was fired as well after my father said no.Adrian Bell said, "So the saying goes, you can never walk the same road twice." The Sporting Cyclist was not in full-colour guise. It never had the same amount of coverage. It was more narrowly focused and the articles were written by professional journalists. It wasn't a diary written by clubmen for clubmen, but a modern monthly cycling journal in its text and use of full-page colour photography. For the London Daily Telegraph, <mask> <mask> covered 18 Tours de France. David was sent by the paper to be its specialist cycling reporter.Until then, he didn't want to go away from home for a month in the summer. The new arrangement ended <mask>'s newspaper career and halted the occasional contributions he made to BBC Radio, where he reported on races such as the world championship and Bordeaux–Paris, a race from which he reported the victory of the British rider, Tom Simpson. He covered his 19th Tour by bike and wrote a book called My Nineteenth Tour de France, which ended his habit of following the Tour in the car of French journalist colleagues. His time at the Tour de France earned him a medal. He got it from Jacques Goddet and Félix Lévitan. For many years he had been the only permanent English-speaking reporter on the Tour and the race press officer, Louis Lapeyre, who for many years refused to speak to any anglophone journalists, finally negotiated with them. Tom Simpson was the first British cyclist to wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France.The first time they met was in 1955 when he was at a training camp sponsored by Simplex. Charles Pélissier was a Tour rider. He went there to report on a promising Irish rider who had won his place as a prize in the previous year's Tour of Ireland. Pélissier received letters from cyclists who couldn't attend the camp. They were translated into French for him. One wrote to Sir asking for advice on racing and training for the 1955 season. I am 16 years old and have raced on the track and started road races in time trials.In my first track event I gained 3rd place, in road races I won 2 prizes, and in time trials I won 4 prizes. My positions in time trials were 11th, 8th, 15th, and 7th. The fastest time for a 16-year-old in England this year has been done by me. I want to know if you think it's a good idea to compete in so many different events and what mileage I should race. Do you think that this is true, that I will burn myself out and be no good when I get older, if I race often? You are in sport, Thomas Simpson. C.C.Pélissier, who didn't speak English, didn't reply to the suggestion that he may have done it. Writing style Martin Ayres, one of several who wrote their first articles for Sporting Cyclist and went on to edit cycling magazines of their own, said that he tried to copy <mask>'s style once or twice. Adrian Bell wrote that the use of the first person in his articles is crucial to understanding the appeal of his writing. He always used this technique regardless of whether he was writing an account of a race, interviewing an old-time, retired cyclist, or describing a leisurely tour. We saw events through his eyes and ears, not if they were simple objective facts, but if they were sensationalised. He offered us his thoughts, his emotions and his immediate impressions at the moment of their happening, and if those impressions needed to be revised in the light of later revelations, he did that as well. B<mask> was that.He said Hush Puppy shoes hurt his feet less than conventional cycling shoes. When he was 59, he rode just short of 400 miles in the North Road event, but he also competed in outside races. His first book is called My 19th Tour de France. I pedalled 1,750 on a bike instead of lazing 3,000 miles in a press car. I have taken my time in writing 90,000 words and sent them to the printers instead of writing 400 words a night. He joined the Union Sportif in the Paris suburbs because of his love for France. He recorded the 1,200 km Paris–Brest–Paris challenge in another book.He inspired riders around the world. British riders were able to take part in the creation of Audax UK. Eric said "Brestward Ho!" in British Columbia. The title of the chapter made its mark. John Hathaway decided to ride the Audax version of PBP after reading the story. He met Robert Lepertel in France and was persuaded to come back for the next randonneur PBP in 1979. Three years later, the randonneur pioneers returned to France with other people.The birth of randonneur cycling in British Columbia is marked by PBP '79. At the club's annual general meeting in September of 2003 there was a celebration to mark the 25th anniversary of BC. At the event, he held up a copy of Old Roads and New. "Brestward Ho!" "This book probably had more to do with getting English-speaking cyclists to become interested in PBP than anything else written about it." There was a mountain challenge in 1973. It was a time trial over the col de Glandon, the Croix de Fer, the Telegraphe and the Galibier.The race started at 2 am. Pierre Brambilla lost the Tour de France on the last day in 1947. He was attacked by Jean Robic, who was against the tradition of leaving the race leader to ride to Paris in glory. He buried his bike in his garden because he was so upset by his defeat that he never asked the truth of the story. The approach to the Galibier was caught byBrambilla. The Italian veteran would have been miles ahead, but he would have set out an hour late. He offered to give <mask> a ride up the Galibier, but he wouldn't.It was too late for the chance to confirm or scotch the buried bicycle story. Peter Bryan said that Death was angry at being fired from International Cycle Sport and at the mixed success of his book-publishing venture. His ashes were scattered on the col du Glandon in the Alps. Mary asked that his ashes be scattered on the route of the Tour. A group of readers led by a British enthusiast took them. They scattered them during the Tour de France. We ate well that night before the scattering of ashes, but then we usually don't.Our table was laid for eight, yet other diners noted only seven men present. They watched as we drank a toast to the empty chair at the head of our table. It seemed logical and fitting that <mask> should attend his final Tour with a bunch of British clubmen. <mask> had climbed that pass on his 59th birthday, so I chose a special spot on the Glandon. Dave descended the 13 km from the summit to find the spot where the Torrent des Sept Laux comes crashing down from seven lakes higher up the mountain. He had already gathered a selection of mountain flowers and arranged them in a plastic bottle and was making a simple cross as I arrived. It was sad and quiet."<mask>'s beautiful turn of phrase could be applied equally to a touring theme or race report, and he carried you, the reader, along with him as though you were riding and hearing his words from the front saddle," said Peter Bryan. Ron Kitching said that he wasn't ruthless enough to be a businessman, he just floated through life absorbing the cycling scene and reflecting it in his articles and books. I don't think <mask> worked that way, he just put down what he thought. <mask> was a gentleman but he would wander off. The International Cycle Sport was one of the sponsors of the Tour of the North. He turned up on his bike. He was more interested in riding his bike than covering the race.Which was his downfall. Each summer, an annual road race is held in memory of <mask>. He had been the president of the club. A collection of his writing was published in 2002. Adrian Bell is the author of B. <mask>'s ed: Mousehold Press. British male journalists died in 1981 and English male cyclists died in 1914.

texts: <mask> was an English footballer who played professionally as a forward for Reading and Cardiff City during a career that lasted four years in the mid-1970s. He won Reading's player of the year award in both of his full seasons there, as well as being the leading goal scorer. His personal life was one of heavy smoking, drinking, womanising and drug abuse, and he had a reputation for intimidating opponents through physical intimidation. Despite his short career, he is still remembered by Reading and Cardiff fans as a player and a personality. He has been voted Reading's best player three times. During his teenage years, <mask> was scouted but not retained by four professional clubs. He played for local semi-professional sides in the Isthmian League until he joined Reading in 1974 and helped them win promotion to the Third Division.In the first half of the 1976–77 season, Friday's form began to dip, leading Reading to sell him to Second Division side Cardiff City around the New Year. Friday traveled to join his new team by train without a valid ticket and had to be released by the manager before he signed for the club. He was 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 Friday retired from football in December 1977 after a number of incidents, including kicking Mark Lawrenson in the face. He died of a heart attack at the age of 38. The strongest aspects of Friday's game were his ball skills, footballing intelligence and physical and mental strength.

Super Furry Animals dedicated their 1996 single "The Man Don't Give a Fuck" to him. Childhood <mask> and his twin brother, Tony, were born on July 27, 1952 in west London. Their parents, a driver for a laundry firm and his wife, were both born in Acton and married a year before, at the age of 20. Frederick Riding was a professional footballer before the Second World War. When <mask> and Tony were two years old, the Fridays moved to a house in South Acton that was sinking. <mask> and Tony were described by their mother as being very close.<mask> was shy, whereas Tony was more confident. The twins attended their first professional match at the age of two, when their father took them to a match. The boys were taken to play football at the local park every afternoon when they were four years old. According to his father, <mask> could flick an orange up onto his neck, balance it and then let it roll back down his body and catch it on his foot. <mask> played cricket to a high standard, boxed and played tennis. While Tony did well at school, <mask> was not interested in school and was always bunking off, having birds around the park. During his teenage years, <mask> joined Crystal Palace's school of excellence at 12 or 13, then moved on to Queens Park Rangers at 13 and attended the 1967 FA Cup Final, where he was one of the club's youth players.Each club lost patience with Friday because of his individual style of play and refusal to change his game. In some matches, the twin brothers would play alongside their father in the men's team. Tony played in the middle and <mask> up front, but according to Tony his brother was a better goalkeeper than a forward. He had no fear. He preferred banging them in at the other end. <mask> had a talent for drawing but stopped drawing at 15 because he was interested in music, dancing and attending concerts. <mask> started taking drugs in his teens after becoming more outgoing than his brother.He began training as a plasterer a year before Tony. Borstal, first marriage and the Isthmian League Friday lasted two months as a plasterer before moving on to become first a van driver for a grocery firm, then a window cleaner. In his father's words, "he didn't care", his laid-back attitude and indifference was already clear. Despite numerous convictions, Friday did not go to a detention centre until he was 16. He was released because of his asthma, after he was caught stealing a car radio. He was sent to Feltham Borstal for 14 months after he re-offended. Friday was a member of the Borstal football team and became stronger and more fit during his time there.He was selected for the prison league's all-star men's team, still aged 16, and allowed out of Borstal to train and play with Reading's youth team, for which he appeared three times in the South East Counties League during the 1968–69 season. After his release, Friday returned to his hometown of Acton, where he had a girlfriend and a baby daughter. She was of mixed race. The local controversy surrounding the interracial relationship caused the couple and their circle of friends to be socially isolated, and led to a physical attack on the group one night in a public house. They married despite the opposition of both sets of parents, who refused to attend the wedding. Friday drank heavily and took narcotics because he didn't take his marriage seriously. A friend who played for Walthamstow Avenue, a semi-professional Isthmian League club from north-eastern London, took Friday along to training one day in 1971.Friday was good enough for Walthamstow to sign him on the same day. Many of his new teammates were asphalters from east London, and Friday joined them in that trade. On 27 March 1971, Friday made his debut for Walthamstow, coming off the bench to set up the tying goal. He scored his first goal as a substitute in the game against Tooting &Mitcham on 17 April. He joined the club in 1971 after scoring twice against them. He was based closer to his home in Acton. A near-fatal accident at work in July 1972 caused Friday to undergo extensive surgery; while working on a roof in Lambeth, a hoist rope became stuck on the scaffold he was working on.The spike went through one of the forward's buttocks, through his stomach and narrowly missed his lung after he fell trying to free the rope. Not only was Friday strong enough to pull himself off the spike, he recovered from his injuries within three months and returned to the team in October 1972. One time the team started a match short because Friday didn't show up, he was known for his excessive drinking. His intoxication was obvious when he arrived eighty minutes after kick-off, but he was still sent onto the pitch with the match still goalless. Friday scored a late winning goal. The team drew 0–0 at Reading in the FA Cup's second round on December 9, 1972 but lost 1–0 at home three days later. Reading manager Charlie Hurley was interested in the outcome of the game.More than once, he went to watch Friday. He was cautious about signing the player, but was impressed by his performances on the field. The 1972– 73 season was the most prolific in terms of goals. He joined Enfield early in the 1973–74 season and scored against Hayes in an FA Cup tie before returning to west London. <mask> signed for the Reading side in January 1974 after being approached by the Third Division side. During his three seasons in the Isthmian League, he had been sent off seven times. <mask> signed as an amateur, meaning that although he would be contracted to Reading, he would still be able to work as an asphalter in London and play for their reserve team.Friday had no other way of playing and trained like he played. His manager had to take him out of training on occasion because of the injuries he inflicted on his teammates in his effort to win. Reading had a run of 14 games with only two victories, while Friday had performed well in three reserve matches. He was given his first-team debut four days after he was registered to play in the Football League. The Reading Evening Post called Friday's performance at Northampton Town outstanding. The team has not won away from home in four months. Friday scored his first League goal just after the break to make the score 2–1, after Barnsley had led 2–0 at half-time.Friday signed a professional contract for Reading. His new salary was less than what he had earned as an asphalter. He was very popular among Reading supporters and pressmen. Friday's first match as a professional was described as "sheer magic" by the Reading Evening Post. The first goal of the day was described as "glorious" by the report, as he collected the ball wide on the left wing, took it past four defenders and then fired the ball low and hard into the opposite corner from the edge of the penalty area. No matter how badly he was hurt, Friday would always get up and continue, even though he never wore shin pads in the professional ranks. He came back for the next game, away at Lincoln City, after sustaining a calf injury.<mask> sustained injuries and was taken to the sideline for five minutes in the first half. He came back to the game and helped his side win by a score of two goals to nil. Reading played a key role in the team's 5–0 victory over Doncaster Rovers at home on 24 February 1974. With the score 1–0 to Reading, <mask> received the ball near the edge of the penalty area, at a tight angle, and coolly kicked the ball with the outside of his boot, which was described by the Evening Post reporter as "magical". Although it appeared to be heading yards wide of the net, the ball suddenly curved in at the last possible moment, right around the goalie, in the phrase of Reading F.C. David Downs clipped the goalpost before nestling in the back of the net. "The team that has been transformed by <mask> has now scored a remarkable 16 goals in five games, and the highlight of this joyous afternoon was a goal by Friday that was worth anyone's admission money on its own," reported the Evening Post.Some of his teammates were not happy with Friday's off-the-field activities. Some, particularly defender Tommy Youlden, were skeptical of his lifestyle because of his importance to the team. His antics during his drinking sessions caused many landlords to lose patience with him. Friday was banned from Caversham's Crown public house after dancing on the bar and jumping between the tables. He was banned from Reading ten times. One night after the pubs closed, Friday and a friend, Rod Lewington, went to an all-night club called Churchill's where they could continue drinking. Friday, wearing a long coat and boots, walked onto the dance floor and revealed that he was not wearing a shirt.He was naked apart from his boots. Lewington described the club as "the worst club that has ever been in Reading", but the club did not allow Friday for his bizarre activities, including a dance he invented called "the elephant". He and his friends drank all day, but he was able to exert some self-control and not drink for 48 hours before each game. At any time of the day or night, he would play his heavy metal records loudly and take LSD with casual indifference.

texts: Even if it was three in the morning, the first thing would be to get the music playing, even if it was an apartment above the football club's elderly ex-groundsman. The ex-groundsman lived below us. He had a dog in the flat and was coming up to 80.People are playing music and girls are throwing stones at the windows. Poor old sod. Reading finished the 1974–75 season in sixth place, one place higher than the previous year. During the summer break, Friday had an operation to have tattoos removed from his fingers, but didn't inform Reading of his decision. He was absent without explanation when training began for the 1974–75 season in July, arriving only on the day of a closed-doors friendly. He performed better than the rest of the team despite his lack of training. The League programme began the following month and he continued to play well.He was attracting interest from First Division teams. The former had been following him since February when he was still an amateur. Reading defeated Rotherham United 4–2 at home on September 12th, but neither the team nor the manager tried to sign Friday. After Reading defeated Newport County 3–0 on September 14, 1974, Friday and his partner Dick Habbin scored six goals each and topped the Football League goal scoring charts. The Evening Post criticized him on 30 September 1974, just after he had scored his first hat-trick for Reading in a 5–1 victory over Southport. He was the Football League's joint top scorer with nine goals, but he had already been booked three times that season and the Post argued that he was letting the team down. The system gave him a two- match suspension after three bookings.The article argued that missing games because of stupidity amounted to selling the club short. In the words of teammate John Murray, Friday's behavior on Reading away trips was unpredictable and erratic, with some of the things he did being funny but other times they were just mad. The team bus pulled over and Friday noticed that they were next to a cemetery. The club chairman was sleeping on the coach when Friday jumped over the wall and stole some stone angels. Friday dutifully returned the statues when he returned, after he sternly told him that he must never ever desecrate a graveyard. Friday reacted to the news that a teammate had smuggled a girl into his hotel room. He walked into the bar carrying the swan that he found in the hotel grounds.During the FA Cup tie away against Swindon Town on 23 November, Friday began to have trouble breathing and despite leaving the game for five minutes to recuperate with an inhaler, he coughed violently and had to come off for good. He returned to the team on December 28, after missing four matches, and scored the only goal in a 3–1 home defeat to Stockport County. Reading dropped to 12th place on 6 January 1975, and were only three points above the re- election places, however, by the time they took on Workington at home on 3 February they had risen to 10th. The Evening Post match reporter wrote that Friday risked life and limb to head home a truly memorable goal in Reading's 3–0 win. He had to ruin things for himself when he was booked three minutes later. After this victory, the side went on to win six of their next seven games, keeping them in the running for promotion to the third tier. Friday was overjoyed after scoring the last-minute winner in Reading's 2–1 victory over Rochdale.He kissed a policeman after running behind the net. "The policeman looked so cold and fed up that I decided to cheer him up a bit", said the Reading forward publicly. He said in the dressing room that he wished he hadn't done it because he hates coppers. Reading finished the 1974–75 season in seventh place, five points behind the promoted teams. Friday was the club's top scorer with 18 league goals and 20 overall, and was voted the player of the year. Reading were top of the Fourth Division having just won four games in a row after their 4–2 victory over Hartlepool United on September 23, 1975. Friday was the club's top scorer.Reading won 2–1 against Bournemouth on the 27th, but Friday was sent off after 81 minutes. He endedeared himself to Reading's fans by performing a lap of honour after each goal he scored. After two wins, two defeats and a draw in October, the team was fourth in the table. Friday was accused of using obscene language outside a Newport nightclub after the evening match at Newport County. He was acquitted after he pleaded not guilty, representing himself. He began to attract interest from other clubs when he scored regularly for Reading. The Evening Post wrote on 3 November 1975, "Friday is, of course, much more than Reading's top scorer and best strikers."He is the most important player in the team, and last week I was told that Reading turned down a bid from Cardiff City involving a Welsh player. Reading was third in the table and two points behind league leaders Lincoln City by the new year. After Reading went four games without a win starting on 24 January 1976, a late goal from Friday ended this run on 25 February in a home match against Hartlepool United; twelve minutes from time, he collected a pass from Stewart Henderson and neatly placed the ball past the goalkeeper from the edge of the penalty The Evening Post reported that if Friday was out for some time through injury, the Reading team would fall to pieces. The side continued its push for promotion; fourth or higher would be enough to go up. Clive Thomas, an internationally experienced referee, was in charge of the game between Reading and Tranmere. Friday, who had already scored 18 goals that season, rose to the occasion with an effort that has been described by many sources as one of the greatest ever scored.With the score 2–0 to Reading, the goalkeeper Steve Death threw the ball to the right back Gary Peters, who spotted Friday standing near the left-hand corner of the opposing penalty area. The forward jumped into the air and knocked the ball into the air with his back to goal, 25 to 30 yards away from the net. He ferociously powered the ball towards goal, kicking over his shoulder and turning after the ball had left his body. The shot flew straight into the top-right-hand corner of the net, stunning the crowd, players and Thomas, the referee, who put his hands over his head in disbelief. "I'll never forget it", Thomas said. He was hit over his shoulder by the volley. ...It would have broken the goalpost if it hadn't gone into the top corner of the net. That is the best goal I have ever seen. Reading won the game 5–0 The Londoner was surprised when Thomas told him that he had never seen a better goal. I do that every week. On 19 April 1976, Reading moved to within one point of promotion with a 1–0 home victory over Brentford. Friday beat three players before hitting the post with his shot and Ray Hiron scored from the rebound.Friday scored a powerful left-footed volley during the first half of a 2–2 draw away against Cambridge United two days later. Reading secured third division football. "I wouldn't mind a few of them for home", said Gordon Cumming, the Reading captain, after seeing some wine glasses at the celebratory dinner after the game. "Give us a few minutes and I'll get them for you", replied Friday. He stole a full box of glasses from the dining room and then decided to keep them for himself, much to Cumming's annoyance. For the second year in a row, Friday was the team's player of the year, with 22 goals for the year, 21 in the league. The players had a meeting with Waller on 4 June 1976 to discuss their contracts for the 1976–77.The players of Reading were shocked by the low wages they were offered. Eamon Dunphy claimed that they got screwed by the club. We didn't get what we were promised. Friday told the Evening Post that the club's directors did not share his ambition and that he handed in a transfer request because he was so offended by the low salary. He said that they would be happy to walk in the bottom half of the Third Division for the rest of their lives. During the off-season, Friday was engaged to Liza Deimel, a Reading-born university graduate, and had been divorced from his first wife, who was also a Reading-born university graduate. The couple were married in Reading three days after the pay dispute was over.The wedding was filmed by Southern Television before their cameras 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 888-739-5110 Friday had invited about two hundred people, mostly friends and relatives from London, who joined in the drinking and drug-taking and ended up fighting each other and stealing the couple's wedding presents, one of which was a large quantity of cannabis. The wedding was called the most hilarious thing ever by Liza. Rod Lewington said that he had been to a few weddings, but never one like that. When we got promoted, he lost his way. He must have celebrated all summer long. Friday reported back for pre-season training in bad condition, and although he claimed that he was trying to regain fitness, the forward was having trouble with his asthma, and was obviously not fit.Reading were preparing to sell him to a First Division club, despite his improved performances during August, as the Evening Post revealed on the 30th. After scoring in two successive Reading home wins on 4 and 7 September, Friday took part in a third consecutive victory on the 13th against Northampton Town. According to the Post, he missed two matches because of the flu, and when he returned to the team, his control of the ball was not as good. Hurley tried to keep his player's drug habit a secret while he worked to bring him back around, but he was aware that his forward was using drugs. The other Reading players became unhappy with Friday's conduct and 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 Downs said that top-flight clubs Queens Park Rangers and West Ham United were reluctant to buy because they weren't sure they could handle him. By the end of October 1976, Hurley had given up on trying to rehabilitate his player, believing that the only solution was to sell him to a bigger team.The squad needs you but I can't have you using drugs, that's why I owe it to the club. It won't take the major clubs long to find out if you're using drugs. You need to get your act together. On October 28, Friday was made available for transfer. Friday was watched by other clubs throughout November and December 1976, but although he performed well in some games, including a 1–1 draw away at Crystal Palace on 6 November in which he scored his team's only goal, he was poor in others. He was taken out of the game


texts: after being marked out of the game. " Coincidence or not, when Friday left, so did half a dozen managers and scouts", wrote the Evening Post.Friday was so angry at his team's performance that he broke into the dressing room and defecated in the team bath. Reading's asking price was £50,000, and the first offer came from Second Division side Cardiff City around mid-December. Reading's directors wanted the troublesome player off their hands as quickly as possible after Jimmy Andrews offered less than half of his previous offer. Friday was reluctant to go to the Welsh club, saying that it was too far from home, and that he wanted more money than was being offered, but when he was told that he would be released, he agreed. Friday was arrested by the British Transport Police for travelling from Reading with only a platform ticket. The player was taken to Ninian Park to sign the contract after being released from police custody. Despite the manner of Friday's arrival, and the fact that he knew there had to be something wrong with him, the manager was still happy with his purchase.The night before his debut, Friday had a long night of drinking. Bobby Moore, the former England captain, was included in the defence of the Cottagers, but on Friday he played for the first time for the Welsh club and scored two goals. On Monday morning, the day after Friday's performance, he phoned Hurley to say that he was so happy with it. "Oh, Charlie", she exclaimed, "he was magnificent." He ripped them out. Moore was chasing him. The manager continued to praise the acquisition until he was stopped.He warned Jimmy to give it a few months, because Friday's form declined after his strong debut and his personal life remained troubled and chaotic. He was supposed to be living in Bristol, but his manager would often find that he had been somewhere else for weeks. According to teammate Paul Went, the forward would simply leave after each match and not be heard of until he returned for the next game, and that's what the doctor believed at the time. Went later said that he wouldn't bother to have a shower. He would just get dressed, take his carrier-bag with his dry martini and go. It became clear that Friday disliked his new manager and that the Londoner was unable to control him, even though he had been able to command Friday's respect. Friday came to the office at Elm Park one day and asked to come back to Reading."He still called me his boss", he said. Friday said he couldn't play for the little bastard. You seem to be able to get me right. Can I come back to you? Although he would be happy to have Friday back on the team, the club could not afford to repay the transfer fee, so he would have to go back and continue playing there. Friday was so unhappy living so far from home that he avoided paying rail fares by knocking on locked toilet doors and shouting "Tickets, please!" Pretending to be a ticket inspector.Friday would take the ticket from the occupant and use it for himself. During training, Went accidentally hit Friday on the back of the head when he threw a ball out from goal. Steve Grapes, who was standing near the forward, started laughing and concluded that he had thrown the ball. Friday viciously punched Grapes in the jaw, striking him with such force that he wore a neck brace for two weeks. The first game of the first season in Wales took place on April 16 1977. The two teams were both in the bottom half of the table and fighting for promotion. Friday was reprimanded by the referee for a high tackle on the goalkeeper in the 36th minute, after clashing with the goalkeeper early in the match.Friday held out a hand to apologize. When the free kick was taken, Friday ran back, stole the ball from John Faulkner, broke away, rounded Aleksic and shot the ball past him into the net. Friday gave the goalkeeper the V-sign in celebration. At the end of the season, Cardiff avoided being demoted to the third tier only on goal difference. Reading was demoted back to the Fourth Division by one point. The players and staff were woken by loud bangs in the middle of the night after they lost the second leg of the Welsh Cup final. Friday stood on the hotel's snooker table in his underwear and threw the balls around the room in fury.After failing to turn up for pre-season training with Cardiff before the 1977–78 season, Friday was reported to be in a London hospital suffering from an unknown virus which had caused him to lose weight. He claimed to have been suffering from hepatitis when he showed up for training in October, but tests showed he wasn't. Stuart Kane, author, discovered that Friday had been arrested for pretending to be a police officer and had been sentenced to prison but was released after just a few days. On October 29, 1977 the Londoner returned to the team for the away match at BRIGHTON & HOVICE LADIES, who were in the 20th place on goal difference. Friday waited for Mark Lawrenson to try a slide tackle and then kicked him in the face, because he was frustrated by Lawrenson's close attention. After receiving a red card, Friday broke into the dressing room and defecated in Lawrenson's kit bag, according to legend. The loss was 4–0 for Cardiff."I am tired of it and sick of it", he told the South Wales Echo. He was sent off in his first game back. Friday served a three-match suspension before making his final appearance in the 6–3 away defeat against the Trotters. Liza, the mother of <mask>'s second daughter, began divorce proceedings around this time. <mask> walked into Andrews's office on December 20, 1977 to announce that he was retiring from professional football, after having had enough of people telling him what to do. He was immediately released by the club and his contract was canceled. After retiring, <mask> moved back to London to work as an asphalter.Maurice Evans was presented with a petition signed by 3000 supporters, requesting that he attempt to re-sign Friday. Evans told him that he could play for England if he settled down for three or four years. <mask> was asked how old he was. Evans continued: "I've lived twice your life and I'm half your age". Evans said, "You may well be right". After regaining his fitness, <mask> suddenly changed his mind and stopped coming to training. He was married for a third time in 1980.Friday's family secured 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 He died of a fatal heart attack at the age of 38 after serving a prison sentence for pretending to be a police officer and confiscating people's drugs. Paolo Hewitt said the incident was the result of a suspected heroin overdose. Friday's style of play and legacy are often overlooked. Stuart Kane used the title of two novels about him of the same name as a nickname while he was a player. The title of his 1997 biography was "the greatest footballer you never saw". Friday is both a player and a personality.In 2010, Tim Dellor spoke about the importance of Friday's charisma to his contemporary and retrospective appeal, a point which was also highlighted by his second wife, Liza, who likened his personal charm to that of a pied piper. Dellor stated that Friday was the team's very own George Best. The artwork of their 1996 single "The Man Don't Give a Fuck" was dedicated to his memory by using a photograph of him giving the V-sign to Aleksic in 1977. After winning the title of "Player of the Millennium" from Reading in 1999, he was voted the top "all-time cult hero" for both Reading and Cardiff in a 2004 poll. In 2007, a poll of Reading fans resulted in him being named the club's best ever. The Professional Footballers' Association canvassed Reading supporters for their all-time favourite and Friday won again. Phil Dwyer was chosen as one of Friday's former teammates by the Cardiff fans.<mask> was ranked first in Channel 4's list of football "bad boys" in August 2007, and eighth in Football365's list of "wasted talents" in 2010. Friday's style of play was based on his exceptional ball skills and his innate footballing vision, which enabled him to execute flamboyant individual moves and to create attacks for his teammates. Friday was placed on a par with Alan Shearer and Maurice Evans claimed that he could have played for England, but he was at least on a level with international strikers he had worked with. This opinion was shared by Hamilton and Friday's Reading teammate John Murray, both of whom firmly declared in separate interviews that Friday would have been good enough for the England team had he "sorted his head out". Friday was a pleasure to set up a goal for a teammate and a pain to net one of his own. He could control the ball and shoot it with great accuracy. Reading became one of the division's best sides in a matter of weeks, thanks to his ability to create a formidable forward player, because of the strong physical aspect of his game and his competitive spirit."Friday's immediate and profound impact on the Reading team was like the comic-book stories that kids from <mask>'s era would have read", wrote Roger Titford in 2010. He was a ready-made star. Friday was very strong and was able to survive blows or injuries. He was also very fit despite his lifestyle. He boasted an exceptional work-rate, which Dwyer recalled gave any side including him a strong boost: "When he was in the line-up you'd have a centre-forward and a centre-half; not only would he be up there running them ragged, but when it Despite all of Friday's attacking skills, he considered the sliding tackle to be one of the strongest parts of his game. F.C. is being read.Friday's style of play was described as "really quite bizarre" by historian David Downs. <mask> stood in the middle and said "Give me the ball and I'll see what I can do with it". On receiving the ball, he would either take on the opposing defence single-handed or run with it to the wing to cross for a teammate. "We didn't need anyone else up front", he said later. They couldn't get the ball off him. He could easily beat five players. It was almost impossible to get the ball off him once he got it.Friday was known for giving his all in any game he played. Friday would become furious at his teammates if they didn't try their best in training. The use of physical intimidation to unsettle opposing players led contemporary critics to label him a "villain". Friday used psychological tactics to scare opposing players, such as fondling their testicles or kissing them. Paul Went said that defenders would be affected by these tricks. Friday believed he was justified in chasing victory despite the number of bookings and sendings-off he received. I don't care about anyone.People think I'm crazy. I am a winner. The season-by-season statistics for non-League teams are not available for this period. Reading Football League Third Division: runner-up, 1976–77 Individual Reading F.C.

texts: <mask>un-sun is a South Korean mountaineer. She was the first Korean woman to climb a mountain. She claimed to have climbed all fourteen eight-thousanders after reaching the summit of Annapurna, which would have made her the first woman to do so. Multiple experts disagreed with her claim to have ascended the mountain. The Korean Alpine Federation ruled that she had not summited after she admitted that she had stopped a few hundred meters before the summit. Edurne Pasaban was thought to be the first woman to climb all fourteen peaks. <mask> was born in Jeollabuk-do.She studied engineering at the University of Suwon. She said she would take a break from climbing for three to four years. She said that the last few years have been tiring. During her break, she will attend graduate school and do charity work. On July 17, 1997, <mask> summitted Gasherbrum II without supplementary oxygen, completing her first climb to a summit of over 8,000 meters. She tried several eight-thousanders over the next several years. She climbed Mount Everest in 2004.She climbed Shishapangma in 2006 on her list of accomplishments. Edurne Pasabn and Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner completed nine different eight-thousanders to <mask>'s three. She conquered Cho Oyu and K2 in 2007. Two women climbed for the 10th time that year. The leaders in the chase for all 14 added one each, while <mask> added four more 8000+ meter climbs. <mask> claimed to have summited the world's third-highest mountain on May 6, 2009. She became the first woman from Korea to conquer the mountain.She was the first woman to scale the world's five highest peaks. It was her 10th different 8000er. On August 3, 2009, <mask> reached the summit of Gasherbrum I after climbing for twelve hours. Annapurna, the last of the eight-thousanders, was <mask>'s second attempt. In October 2009, a previous attempt came up 500 meters short. She was delayed further ascent as she approached the top. On April 23, <mask> reached camp C3 but was forced to retreat the next day due to wind.She decided to delay her summit attempt. <mask> climbed from C2 to C4 in 11 hours. On April 27, 2010, <mask> left camp C4 on Annapurna. She reached the summit at 3:20pm local time. She planted a South Korean flag, waved to the camera which was broadcasting the climb live, and thanked her fellow Koreans for being with her throughout the expedition. She was with five other people. South Korean president Lee Myung-bak said that <mask> showed them what challenge means.On May 3, <mask> completed her descent from Annapurna. The accomplishments of <mask> have been questioned, throwing her accomplishment into doubt. There is a dispute over a blurry photograph that is said to have been taken by <mask> at the summit. She only has a photo of her ascent. After doubts were raised in Korea, <mask> held a press conference in which she said that the blurriness was unavoidable due to fog and a violent snowstorm. The media was reassured that <mask> had made the summit by one of the Sherpas who accompanied her on the climb. Edurne Pasaban from Spain was the main rival of <mask> and was trying to become the first woman to climb all fourteen eight-thousanders.While descending Annapurna, Pasabn spoke with <mask> and her team. After Elizabeth Hawley spoke with Pasabn, she agreed to put <mask>'s summit in the Himalayan Database. The only picture that anyone has seen is <mask> standing on bare rock. Miss Pasabn, who was on the mountain at the same time, showed me a picture of her team on the summit in the snow. She said that of the three people that climbed with <mask>, two said she did not reach the summit. While on Annapurna, Pasabn had conversations with said Sherpas. Although her data is unofficial, she is considered the final arbiter.She had planned to do more research after she counted the record as valid. The green rope attached to the mountain by <mask>'s team stopped 200 meters short of the summit, according to a Spanish climber. 8000ers.com, a website devoted to keeping mountaineering records, said, "It's all mixed up, you cannot say what is true and what is invented." On April 27, 2010, Nepal Mountaineering Association president Ang Tshering said, "We recognize <mask>'s achievement as the first woman climber to scale all the highest mountains in the world." <mask> has completed all fourteen eight-thousanders. The Nepalese government believes <mask> climbed the mountain. ExplorersWeb looked into the disputed summit in detail in 2009, and concluded that the dispute was caused by third parties confusing Go Mi-Young's team with <mask>'s, and a misunderstanding about the starting point.The organization concluded that doubts about <mask>'s Kanchen summit were not supported by the facts. The first person to climb all fourteen eight-thousanders acknowledged <mask>'s achievement after meeting with her. On April 26, <mask>'s sponsor responded on her behalf. There were several teams on the mountain at the time and none of them doubted <mask>'s summit. "Korean <mask>un Sun just reached the top in spite of the wind," wrote Pasabn at the time. It was not surprising that <mask>'s summit was not visible by a telescope even during good weather. It states that <mask> was last seen at 8,400 m before the summit time.Veteran climbers say that is realistic. According to the release, fixed rope is not necessary because the final 200 meters of the mountain are gentle. Others, including Pasabn, have scaled that portion of the mountain on their own. She remarked, "I am confused." Had I known the race was going to be so bad, I wouldn't have gotten involved. On May 3, <mask> addressed the allegations after descending from Annapurna. She said she was sad that it had come to this.<mask> claimed that there was video and picture evidence of her summit that had not been made public. <mask> said that he believed that some people told Pasabn that he hadn't climbed the mountain. The names of the Sherpas have not been mentioned. Why? The names of seven people were given by Pasabn on May 4. She didn't give these names earlier because some of these people were still working for <mask>. <mask> has no plans to go back up.On May 3, 2009, <mask> had an hour-long discussion with Elizabeth Hawley in Kathmandu, in which she asked <mask> about her climb. At the end of the interview, <mask> was asked if she had conquered all the eight-thousanders. "Yes, I did." The feat would continue to be acknowledged, according to Hawley's reply. She later told the press that she would be credited for her climb. She said she didn't know who was right because her account was completely different from that of Pasabn. Unless Pasabn withdraws her complaint, Hawley's database will continue to list the climb as disputed.She had previously said she would respect the decision. On May 23 Pasabn conceded that she was the second woman to climb world's 14 highest peaks, but still questioned whether <mask> actually held the record. "I think it's likely that Miss <mask>'s climb is going to be disputed for the rest of her life because of the evidencepiling up against her," said Hawley. The Korean Alpine Federation judged that <mask> probably failed to reach the top of the mountain. The KAF secretary general, Lee Eui-jae, said participants in the meeting all agreed that <mask>'s previous explanations on the process of her ascent did not match the actual landscape. <mask> said that all the participants in the meeting were climbers who had doubts about my achievement from the beginning, so their conclusion must have been already set. She would have to go back and climb it again with lots of clear photos.A member of the next team to reach the peak is said to have found Ms <mask>'s Korean flag weighed down by stones. Helicopters have been used to travel between base camps and <mask> has employed teams to prepare for her ascents. Black Yak is a South Korean outdoor product maker. She is known as "Iron Woman" and "Squirrel" for her climbing accomplishments. <mask> was criticized for not coming to the aid of ailing Spanish climber Tolo Calafat, who died on Annapurna while waiting for help. She was unaware that Calafat was sick until after she descended and was no longer able to help. A Spanish climber got to the summit an hour after we reached it.By the time we got back down to Camp 4 we were all exhausted, <mask> said, adding that she "really wanted to help but was not in a state to climb up the slopes and rescue him." Go Mi-Young, who died after completing 11 eight-thousanders, was a source of inspiration. She has described mountain climbing as a sort of addiction, which is much stronger than any drug.
